A: The start, for sure. The offense runs through me, and I love getting everyone involved as quickly as possible.

Q: Tell me about calling the team together for lunch after that loss to St. Augustine.

A: Cody Hicks and I had the idea. So we called the guys together. Basically, we said let’s get on to the next game. We can’t let one loss domino into two, three or four. We were flat against the Saints. We can’t let that happen again.

Q: How good can this team be?

A: I think we can win a CIF title. Most of us have been together since elementary school. We’ve got talent, and we have good team chemistry.

Q: Would you like to keep playing next year?

A: I’ve applied to a lot of good schools. I want to major in engineering. I’d love to go to school and play on the West Coast, but I’ll play for anyone who wants me.
